sure all parts are firmly tightened. If the assembly instructions are not followed correctly, the elliptical trainer could have frame parts that are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises. To prevent damage to the elliptical trainer, the assembly instructions must be reviewed
and corrective actions should be taken.

GETTING STARTED
POWER
The console on your Horizon E20 is powered by 2 AA batteries, which are replaceable through the
back side of the console. Your elliptical itself, is powered by you.
Your programmable Horizon E30 elliptical trainer is powered by a power supply. The power supply
must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the front foot
tube.
LEVELING
The elliptical trainer should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the elliptical trainer
where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers located underneath each guiderail.
Once you have leveled the elliptical trainer, lock the levelers in place by tightening the wing nuts
against the frame.

FOLDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
Note: It is important to always follow the correct order of steps when folding your elliptical trainer.
STEP 1: The first step is to position the elliptical pedal arms in the proper position. The pedal arms
can be positioned in two different positions for convenience. The first position is to rotate the left
pedal arm so that it is in the backmost position (the left pedal arm wheel should be positioned at the
rear of the elliptical trainer). The second position would be to rotate the right pedal arm in the backmost position.
STEP 2: Carefully raise both the pedal arm (in the backmost position) and guide rail simultaneous-
ly.
STEP 3: Press and hold the lock latch button located underneath the guide rail end cap. Align the
lock latch with the lock latch receiver located underneath the pedal arm. Insert the lock latch receiver into the lock latch. Release the lock latch button once the lock latch is secure.
STEP 4: Repeat process for alternate side.
UNFOLDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
Note: It is important to always follow the correct order of steps when unfolding your elliptical trainer.
STEP 1: Firmly grasp both the left pedal arm and guide rail. Press and release the lock latch receiv-
er from the lock latch. Carefully lower the pedal arm and guide rail, standing to the side to avoid
any accidental release of the alternate pedal arm and guide rail.
STEP 2: Repeat process for alternate side.
MOVING
Your elliptical trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the front of the frame. With the treadmill in the folded position and bracing one foot against the front foot tube, carefully pull back on the
console mast and roll the elliptical to the desired position.
CAUTION! Our elliptical trainers are well built and heavy, weighing up to 200lbs.! Use care and
additional help if necessary when moving.
FOOT POSITIONING
Your elliptical trainer has a variety of foot positions to offer a variance in your workout routine and
to strengthen and train a wider range of leg muscles. To adjust the position of your foot pad, remove
the four screws that attach the foot pad to the pedal arm and move the foot pad to the desired
position. Your elliptical trainer also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to allow you
to focus on other muscle groups such as hamstring and calves. When using your elliptical trainer, you
may notice that your heel raises off of the foot pad. This is a natural walking or running motion and
you should not try to prevent this.
